Tests Concerning Correlation
Hypotheses concerning the population correlation coefficient may be two- or one-sided, as we have seen in other tests. Let ρ represent the population correlation coefficient. The possible hypotheses are as follows: Two sided: H0: ρ = 0 versus Ha : ρ ≠ 0 One sided (right side): H0: ρ ≤ 0 versus Ha : ρ > 0 One sided (left side): H0: ρ ≥ 0 versus Ha : ρ < 0 Parametric Test of a Correlation…
